A ride on a Toronto ferry on the harbour to the Toronto Island. This is my favourite place in the city, a short ferry ride takes you to this set of 3 islands, each connected, making it a large parkland and open spaces for picnics, small amusement park, water rides, beaches (nude ones too), bike […]

BA Lounge Toronto

British Airways has a dedicated lounge in Terminal 3 of Toronto Pearson International airport YYZ. Looking out at the airfield, have your pre-flight dinner or chill on one of the many plush chairs. In many ways, it is similar to that of the BA Galleries Lounge at Heathrow T5. As part of the ‘Sleeper Service’ from Toronto […]

Toronto – home town

Toronto is officially my home, it is the place of youth. My very being and character were shaped by Toronto. Under-rated in many ways, this is the most culturally diverse city in the world as acknowledged by the United Nations, with more than 50% of the population having arrived from overseas. In Toronto one celebrates your culture without […]

Toronto • Canada 2007

Toronto in Canada, featuring the CN Tower and the glass floors and a trip to the Toronto Islands. This was put together using a collage of digital images and some video clips (with the tech I had at the time). This is my early years of creating videos and my tools were limited, but you have to […]

The Avenue Diner

A nostalgic diner with a cool vibe, in business since 1944. The Avenue Diner maintains a loyal clientele, despite being unlicensed and open no later than 4 p.m. Located in the Yorkville and Annex area of downtown Toronto by Davenport Road and Avenue Road, it has an open setting that lets you see your meal being […]

Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel

Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel is in a great location and within walking distance from transport and most attractions in the Toronto city centre. The views are amazing too if you you have a view of the city hall. The room was spacious and the bed outstanding – the sleep quality was top marks!! The guest rooms […]

After a recent post about poor transport links between the Toronto airport, I’m glad to report that there are confirmed plans to finally bridge the city and the airport, as Toronto Pearson Airport responds.

Casa Loma – North America’s only castle

North America’s only castle, Casa Loma, is a Gothic Revival style house and gardens in midtown Toronto, Canada, that is now a museum and landmark. Constructed over a three-year period from 1911–1914, and designed by the architect E. J. Lennox, Casa Loma took more than 300 men and approximately $3.5 million to complete. At 98 […]

VIA Rail Business Class

VIA Rail Business Class intercity trains from Toronto to London in the most comfortable and relaxed way. It was the first time I travelled by train anywhere in Canada when I planned a return visit to see family in London Ontario. When I was younger we used to drive between cities to celebrate Christmas with […]

Poor Transport Links for Toronto Airport

There are cities in the world you enjoy arriving, knowing that when you get there you’ll shuttle through and out of the airport efficiently on your way but there are poor transport links for Toronto Airport. In the case of Toronto Pearson International Airport, a visitor will struggle to find a cheap alternative to get […]

A multi-levelled, vaulted glass-ceiling shopping mall and office complex in downtown Toronto, Canada. Modelled after the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan, Italy, and named after the now-defunct Eaton’s department store chain that once anchored it. Considered revolutionary at […]

Toronto Winter 2015

While visiting family in Toronto over the Christmas period of December 2015, I had a play with my camera and some time-lapse features. Sadly, there was no snow during my stay and Christmas wasn’t a white one, however, freak weather meant this Christmas to be one of the warmest on record. It was a difficult […]

Blimey Summers, Scorching Canuks

As a fellow Canadian, I completely understand the hardships of weather patterns in Toronto Canada. In 2011 it’s proving to be an especially scorching summer, something that can’t be said about London England. In Toronto the swings of seasons are clear, hot summers, wet autumns, freezing winters and warm springs. Though ask any Canadian and […]

Fishbar

A few years after it first opened its doors, Fishbar on Ossington Street in Toronto still delivers a fine catch and selection of seafood tapas. The menu reinvents seafood with unique combinations of ingredients that break with tradition. Seafood enthusiasts are certain to taste something new here. The grilled sardines with balsamic reduction and mint pesto […]
